Coatings on pipe plugs not only improve their performance and reliability but also make them easier to use. A thin film of Xylan eliminates the PTFE tape normally wrapped around the threads to seal them.

In addition, the corrosion protection and low-friction properties of the coating greatly reduce breakout torques, enabling users to remove the plugs at a later date without destroying them.

In most instances, the pipe plugs may be re-used without difficulty.

Xylan coatings are also available in many colors, enabling users to color-code particular plug sizes and alloys.

Description: Resin-bonded, thermosetting, dry-film lubricant which, when compared to Xylan 1010 contains significantly more bonding resin relative to its content of PTFE lubricant. Altering the formula in this manner produces finishes which are harder, more abrasion resistant, glossier, and less porous. Frictional values remain low and very predictable.

Description: Resin-bonded, thermosetting, dry film lubricant. It is formulated for high-pressure, low-speed wear applications and provides long-term lubrication for bearing surfaces subjected to extreme pressures, up to 150,000 psi (10,500 kg/cm2). The coating utilizes a unique dual lubrication system of PTFE and MoS2 and is superior to moly greases which wash away and PTFE coatings which cold flow. Resin-bonded lubricants in Xylan 1052 stay on the job, even in harsh chemical environments.

Description: Resin-bonded, thermosetting, PTFE based, dry-film lubricant. It has extra corrosion protection and issued to coat large studs (B7), nuts, flanges, and related hardware for sub-sea and splash-zone service. Because of its predictable, low-friction properties, less make-up torque is required to produce the specified tension. During assembly, clamp loads are increased; scatter is reduced. In fact, the frictional characteristics are the most predictable of any lubricant, coating, or plating used on bolting. The low friction properties also reduce break-out torque, which allows removal of bolting with a wrench instead of a blowtorch.
Application: Conventional spray.

Description: A recoatable “RC” coating developed to protect large fasteners and chemical processing equipment from chemical exposure (especially those with high pH). Although it contains a small percentage of PTFE lubricant to facilitate installation and prevent galling, it is considered a barrier coating rather than a dry film lubricant.
